my goal was also creating a database of hosting providers and my main focus was on the hosting provider, their website and all the locations that they provide.
These are some aggregated data from it:
providers 249
locations 224
links 863
countries 60
I am happy to see more websites like this within this space to be honest. Its just a cool endeavour and I support some passion within it hopefully same as yours so your project is really cool in my personal opinion :-)
How did you find the data. My way of getting the locations was a bit more semi-automatic. I first created a semi-automatic way of finding looking glass links and then I created a script which loops over each link and tries to find relevant information. Some other information was set manually sometimes for all these providers. This could in theory support re-runs as well so if providers add more locations. I could auto-add them :), what are your thoughts on my project if I may ask?
Have a good day :-)
